- digital & multi-site ethnography
Current research
My research explores virtual club culture and how participants socially produce its spaces, build community and construct identity. These produced spaces are approached as hybrid, meaning that the digital and physical are not thought of as separate, but in a dialectic relationship that forms one space.
Doing so my research contributes to current discussions on the sociology of space, processes of digitalisation and understandings of the internet.
I am working with multiple theories, drawing on Goffman, Lefebvre, as well as Foucault‘s concept of heterotopia, exploring how virtual clubs may exist as enacted and imperfect utopias that challenge, mirror and invert spaces, practices and norms of society.
My PhD project has the preliminary title The Social Processes and Spaces of Virtual Club Culture.
